Michael S asked:


headed to burrowsville, how long will it take to get to burrowsville considering burrowsville is 117 miles away from carruthersville. Also factor in the fact that the conductor has to take two restroom breaks each upto a maximum of 5 mins(since he’s a man, if it was a woman, the train will never get to burrowsville, lol) and that he has to drive the last 10 miles at a speed of 35km/h. Once again, considering all the statement, how long will the train journey last?
